I wonder if the conservatives would vote differently with a Republican president? Shameful either way, blaming it on cutting entitlements.

Wow! I didn’t know what to expect but this is pretty neat. Exhibit quality.

coalitions form into the parties

I have never looked at it this way, but I appreciate your take and will take it with me. The US is perpetually under a poorly functioning coalition government. This requires a different mode of operation from the voter’s viewpoint I think.

I’m not sure it’s good to approach this with a “how do I get rid of” mindset. Unless you have some other specific circumstances, these are conditions that we live with. However, working with a doctor can help. Also, your own personal experience will, too. Diet, topical products, and possibly medication could all play a role. I have had excema and dandruff for my whole life, but thru watching what I eat and keeping track of what I use, I have a pretty good system that works for me. I didn’t get the excema figured out until my mod twenties (from a management standpoint), and the dandruff until mod thirties, but I feel OK about those things now. I would have been better off, I think, if I consulted with a doctor as a teen. I really recommend this. Don’t be afraid of a second opinion.

What are large, wealthy countries trying to do in these instances? Win hearts and minds? Set a country up for success? Give them tools for self determination? No, it always seems to be for exploitation.

I am curious what would be legitimately helpful.

You’re right, I just mentioned them as an example of splits about exactly what has gone on with the differing beliefs about trinity interpretation. I don’t recall that they believed in an evil god. I do recall that some interpretations have other feelings and operate as such.

The Arians and the Church of God are probably not really connected to what op is getting at. I’m definitely not a theologist haha! Maybe I should stay oiy of this…

My limited experience with going to Church of God places indicated to me that they hold this belief, but I do jot know the term for it. They didn’t pray to god, they prayed to Jesus, specifically. And cried for him. And thanked him. And apologized to him. And so on. All to Jesus, not god, who are apparently different.

The idea of the Trinity is not the same across all “Christian” religions, see Arianism for example of an early split.

Her statements about this are almost like asking someone when they quit beating their wife. Ridiculous.

I work in trails, like what you might walk on, and in the rare case I need pi, I use 3.14. This week, we have a meeting to talk about some things on 14 March. I will be using cornbread because I do not know how to make a pie but I will eat the pie others make. I look forward to this meeting.

Well spiraling is basically a wrestling move…

Thank you, and @Zworf for the info!
I guess yay for public-private action 🙃but I guess I would prefer proper communal administration.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see in the article the reason why the stockpile I’d being sold. This I want to know.

It goes back, I don’t know, 30 years? With both agricultural US and union areas (sometimes the same places) the Democratic party consistently expected those votes without actually delivering anything. Bill Clinton and the party get blamed for things like NAFTA and jobs moving to other countries, etc. So eventually these folks drift to the Republican party. Many of these people were broadly conservative anyways. Later, the religious aspects and toxicity of what started with Newt manifested to what we see now.

I don’t know if an evangelical Democrat would fly now. It’s a really bad situation with very entrenched beliefs.

As discussed in the article, of was never really about religion. It was about rhetoric. The bar for Democrats to keep states like Iowa blue was so incredibly low, requiring only action. But none could be taken, and it will now be incredibly difficult to overcome this loss.

Xmas was yesterday now for me, but I never went outside the house. I made baklava ice cream and a green chile cheese ball, petted the dog and the cat, wished it wasn’t raining so I could take a walk, and my mother bought some sugar that we needed at a pharmacy.

Be well 🙂

Reflecting on my own actions and the folks I met on the way, taking a better attitude would help a lot. I was young and had good conversations with different types of people but did nothing with that for close to another 15 years.

We had much of the information then, IMO. And I remember talking with much older folks who were willing to listen to teens/young adults about a variety of topics. I just wasn’t willing to say anything. Even to my peers.

I would take a better attitude.

Sturgill Simpson uses a fair amount of vulgar language, but his music frequently has a better message. Sometimes hidden meanings, etc.

I think l so, the two people making it referred to “vital wheat gluten” and it was the primary ingredient by far. There were other ingredients, too. I think they used some nooch and tamari. Unsure on seasoning.

Indeed. I used to have friends who would make tempeh but I don’t remember ever having theirs and it is more available anyway.
